Hi there,

How to remove the OEM xenon bulbs?
Don't break something

any photos?


Thanks

 

nobody can help me?

 

there's a clip to release them you have to undo it i believe and they slide out

 

Ok but where and how

 

You need to rotate that whole rectangular section (base of the bulb). I forget which way it turns, but it will move. Also need to unplug the plug from the bottom of the base. It's kind of a pain.

 

You also need to be careful. They have a capacitor that is used to light which has Stored energy in the amps and voltage that can do some real damage. Ie don't start prying open the box unless you really know what you are doing. The warning is real.

 

just turn them to the left and it will come out, that's the easy part. getting the wiring plug off, that's the tough part.

 

Maybe this will help

 

Thanks !!! but it's not the same system on the countryman like you can see in my pictures...

 

The countryman shouldn't need new bulbs yet, the oldest cars are 2 years old. The bulbs should last longer. If they did burn up the dealer should be doing these for free. So why the change? But if you insist on changing them then twist and remove igniter (thing on base of bulb) and then remove a clip and the bulb should come straight out.

 

I've the 4300K OEM bulbs and i want to put 6000K bulbs (i have the 6000K but i don't know how to make the swap :-( )
